12th Tooling Conference & Exhibition - Tooling 2022

Powder metallurgy (PM) high speed steels have traditionally been used for tools but are gaining increased usage for demanding components such as rings in bearings and fuel injection. These components, but also many of the tools, are under cyclic load, sometimes several millions of cycles. For that reason, the fatigue resistance of PM-HSS (HSS) is one of the most important mechanical...

Direct Laser Metal Deposition (DLMD) is an additive manufacturing technique getting growing attention thanks to the possibility to produce very complex parts in short time and in a cost-effective manner. Possible applications of this technology are tools with conformal cooling channels and claddings for dies and moulds reparation. AISI H13 is a hot work tool steel, typically used for hot...
